Background :
Geospatial technology has the capability of integrating spatial, non spatial & attributes data to generate visual perspectives along with relevant information that has significant utility in planning & monitoring all developmental activities. Supported with web/enterprise GIS, mobile internet and high resolution satellite data, the technology unfolds a tremendous potential of new possibilities of tapping and analyzing various data in a spatial context to generate useful information. Various organizations both private & public sector, have utilized the technology to develop system capable of providing tools to generate planning related spatial & nonspatial data as well as to monitor various measurable parameters. Such developments of geo-spatial technology application possibilities need to be shared amongst various stake holders like scientists, administrators, policy & plan makers, entrepreneurs, students, etc. to generate needed awareness to expand the use and to evolve new possibilities to make planning & monitoring more simpler & effective.
The proposed workshop is intended to organize a platform to showcase the achievements in different aspects of geo-spatial technology, for the benefit of different stakeholders.
